Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Maccabi Netanya 5:1 away in the Israeli Premier League. Eran Zahavi started on the bench for the first time in the club's history.

Robbie Cain made the decision after a run of five straight defeats. The result leaves Netanya in 14th place, three points behind Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem, who are all fighting for promotion to the Israeli Champions League. The only sure thing at the moment is Petah Tikah's relegation, and even that could change.
